Anyone have an opinion on Carlson’s extended steel shoot tubes?
-
I have used a couple in the past... Only one I have from Carlson now is a turkey choke. What are you thinking of getting?
-
I was looking at a 3 choke set:
Extended 12 gauge Steel Shot Choke Tubes
Close Range .720
Mid Range .710
Extended Range .700
-
I just picked up the close and mid range ones for my O/U. Haven't shot them enough yet to give a full report but they seem like a quality product. Not super fancy looking but the price is pretty good. I'm looking forward to trying them out more!
-
I use a carlson extended modified. I think off hand it's the .720. I felt that it patterned very well off 3" BB shells. but it may have been luck at the time. I will probably give it a try in early season with some hevi #4 shot and see how it goes.
-
I have the improved modified (not the extended version). It patterns well out of my gun, and I definitely knock down more birds when using it.
-
We should start a "Pattern Board" thread. With the new wads in the new Remington and Federal loads, Chokes don't effect your pattern as much as with the Kent and Winchester type wads.
I would love to see some standard distances/chokes/loads put on paper.
I'll see if I can make it out this weekend and put a few pics up Monday
-
There was one started but noone put pics. up yet!

I use Carlson's Sporting Clay Extended, .715. Excellent patterns.

I run Full in the top and Extra full in the bottom..Outstanding..
I shoot everything up to BB out of poth of them no problems..Although these are a little tight for the bigger steel shot.But still knock the crap out of what You point it at.

I have a full set of 5 for my Beretta Onyx. Along with a few other shotguns. They have worked. I have not patterned all of them. The one in my Benelli SBEII patterned good.
